[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] The sharp rise in US import tariffs is expected to weigh on economic growth. However, conflicting factors make the ultimate impact on inflation uncertain. Interestingly, US TIPS have been signalling that these crosscurrents could eventually lead to disinflation. US firms not keen to reshore production It has seemed clear that Trump intends to use tariffs for multiple purposes such as to impact trade and US manufacturing, use it as a negotiation tool, and raise revenue for the US to help reduce deficit or channelize this additional revenue in personal income tax reduction. (these are the stated objectives- final outcome could be different). A survey by CNBC across 120 US companies suggests that most companies will switch to importing from countries with relatively lower tariffs (and not reshore production). Will Trump ever be able to implement reciprocal tariffs? Perhaps not Trump’s proposed reciprocal tariff plan has been postponed for 90...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] As the United States imposes steep tariffs on China while pausing similar actions against other countries, including India, analysts say the immediate pressure may shift toward Chinese exports — but the ripple effects could reach India too. In an interaction with ETNow, Jigar Mistry of Buoyant Capital, outlined a more complex picture of the ongoing trade reshuffle. While India appears relatively insulated for now, he warned of potential spillovers from China’s trade displacement. "If China is not allowed to export into the US, then it will try and flood every other market that it is allowed to export to," Mistry said, pointing to historical precedent. He added, "We have seen this story play out with steel in the year 2015 to 2018 onwards, where they started supplying to the Philippines, Thailand, and the Asia-Pac region... even within India, China could start dumping a lot of material." While some market participants v...

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] U.S. chip companies, banks and oil majors fell sharply on Friday after China retaliated to Trump's tariffs with steep duties, in an intensifying trade war between the world's two largest economies that cast a shadow on global growth. China slapped additional duties of 34% on U.S. goods, set to go into effect April 10. It also announced curbs on exports of some rare-earths and added several U.S. firms to its export control list and the "unreliable entities" list, which allows Beijing to take punitive action. The action followed U.S. President Donald Trump's 34% duties on imports from China announced on Wednesday, which triggered a massive market meltdown on Thursday. The latest levies were on top of the 20% tariffs on China imposed earlier this year. Investors were already fretting over potential supply chain disruptions, price hikes and demand destruction for everything from cars and smartphones to sneakers. Share...

That’s because the market is still grappling with challenges posed by an economic slowdown, profit downgrades and potential US tariffs. Traders looking for bargains within Asia are gravitating toward still-cheap Chinese equities, which are in the middle of a bull run sparked by developments in artificial intelligence.

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Global financial-market turbulence this week sparked by a series of US tariff announcements looks like just the beginning of a volatile year, according to a JPMorgan Chase & Co. electronic trading survey. Inflation and tariffs will have the biggest impact on markets in 2025, followed by geopolitical tension, according to the annual trading poll. Some 41% surveyed highlighted volatility as their biggest anticipated daily trading challenge, up from 28% last year. “What sets this year apart is the somewhat unexpected timing of volatility,” said Eddie Wen, JPMorgan’s global head of digital markets, in an interview. “Markets are reacting to news headlines in surprising ways, and I expect this trend to continue in the current climate.” Traders are on tenterhooks given the lack of clarity over what impact tariffs will have on different asset classes.
